'The bicycle had, and still has, a humane, almost classical moderation in the kind of pleasure it offers. It is the kind of machine that a Hellenistic Greek might have invented and ridden. It does no violence to our normal reactions: it does not pretend to free us from our normal environment.'
j.b.jackson

'When the spirits are low. When the day appears dark. When work becomes monotonous. When hope seems hardly worth having. Just mount a bicycle and go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.'

a note on copyright

part of the reason the poems are on here is because i like them, the other is that i feel more people should be out buying poetry, going to poetry gigs and generally supporting the cause of poetry and writing generally. if poetry is getting read...it isn't getting read! should anyone be feeling precious about that remember it counts for me too. however if you think that the presence of your poetry on the site infringes your personal creativity please accept my apologies, let me know and i'll remove it immediately.
